Review-Los Monstruos #2- Mysteries and Mummies
Los Monstruos #2 Writer: James Robinson Artist: Jesus Merino Colorist: K.J. Diaz Letterer: Jim Campbell Cover Artist: Jesus Merino It is 1950 and a mystery is unfolding at Los Monstruos (The Monster′s city), haven for all our nightmares, home and resting place for vampires, werewolves, snake gods and many other forms of nightmarish terror. Werewolf P.I. Perry Cutter is looking for a vamp. Her old boyfriend, a human now almost dead, wants to know her whereabouts before he is gone forever. They lost contact when the partition firmly put monsters on one side of the fence and humans on the other. However, rumor has it that this gal was once the lover of mob boss and casino owner Ramses Ra himself. Ramses Ra agrees to meet with Cutter, only to give him another mission he will not be able to refuse: when the vampire girl left Ramses, she eloped with a particularly important ledger. The vampire gang, the Blood Boy, is also involved to add danger to the mission. The mystery deepens. Also, will the werewolf detective have a date with Rosie, the vampire diner waitress of his dreams? After paying a visit to his ex-partner, one who has more stitches than seem possibly comfortable on a huge man like him…everything can happen. Ah, Los Monstruos, what a city!

Review-Los Monstruos #1- When Our Favorite Characters Inhabit One City
Los Monstruos #1 Writer: James Robinson Artist: Jesus Merino Colorist: K.J. Diaz Letterer: Jim Campbell Cover Artist: Jesus Merino It is 1950, and all your nightmares are alive and thriving. Similar to Marvel Werewolf by Night, Los Angeles city has been renamed Los Monstruos (The monsters) because, suddenly, all of them have become real. By all of them we mean Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, Swamp folk… all subject to capitalism, some dwelling in luxury and some living in poverty. And of course, there is a police department, a vampiric Night Shift, and private investigators, such as Perry Cutter, our hero. And this perfect sample of a noir detective werewolf has a brand new case. He has to find a former human, now a vampiress, and for that, he must meet crime-boss and pyramid casino owner Ramses-Ra, the mummy of so many ancient horror films. Merino is a master artist. This is a beautiful homage to the EC horror, crime, and fantasy comics. The dialogues feel just right, and the colorist KJ Diaz has done an outstanding job. I have high hopes for this title. Los Monstruos #1 is on sale since March 19, 2025. Genre: Horror, Fantasy, Occult & Supernatural Crime/Mystery Format: FC, 32 pages; Miniseries Price: $3.99 Age range: 16+ UPC: 7 61568 01405 1 00111
